Our Curious Panda is a bi-monthly creative art magazine for children. This imaginative magazine aims to encourage children to develop their constantly curious nature, and to understand the world around them, through making art (away from screens).

In this issue you can create a fun self-portrait, a townscape collage and your own miniature garden. Otter shows you how to make a wonderful natural artwork using some new painting techniques.

Pinkety and Badger chat about all things colour, you might pick up some great ideas for using colour in your own artwork. You can try out our recipe for colourful biscuits, great for taking on a walk or scoffing while reading.

There’s so much nature to spot at this time of year – Badger has some suggestions. For those rainy days, put your feet up and give your brain a challenge with Pinkety’s puzzle pages and our drawing challenge.
